AGILITY Competitions
Perhaps the most widely known Agility competition venue is the American Kennel Club. Open to registered purebred dogs, agility is the fastest growing event at the AKC.
Other Agility venues provide practice opportunities and the ability to train under trial conditions. Some venues provide world-class competition while others cater to beginners. Those organizations are listed here, both with their home pages and their trial calendars. Contributions of courses are welcome and will be posted with their respective venues.
